After the Crescent City reinforcements arrived at Tieyang, the defeat of the World Government Army was inevitable.

After the enemies in the outer battlefield surrendered one after another, the Tieyang defenders also quickly abandoned the city and surrendered.

They originally wanted to resist, but a built-in orbital cannon directly bombarded the headquarters building, and they all became obedient.

In a world where supernatural powers exist, wars can sometimes be so dramatic.

If there is a top-level extraordinary person on the opposite side and you don’t have anyone of the same level on your side, or even someone who can slightly restrain you, the battle line and morale will easily collapse.

Due to the large number of enemies, the final phase lasted for three full days and three nights.

According to subsequent statistics, Ichiro Aso, the commander-in-chief of the World Government Army's Tetsuyo Campaign, was killed in the battle. The Third, Fifth, Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth Army Groups under his command, as well as 17 people including the surrendered army and Tetsuyo defenders were annihilated, and 72 people were captured.

A total of 103 enemy Titan mechas, 1264 main battle tanks, 5873 artillery pieces, and countless other drones and other weapons were captured.

In terms of wolf raids, the loss exceeded 22 people, leaving less than two-thirds of the original number. Many units fought to the last man, were completely annihilated, and were forced to disband.

The Battle of Tieyang was one of the largest and most decisive battles during the Kuroshio War, with more than 160 million soldiers from both sides involved, setting a record for the largest number of soldiers since the first year of Dawn and becoming a watershed in the entire war.

After this battle, the Wolf Raiders not only gained a vital military manufacturing city, but also completely opened up the northern and southern battlefields, relying on the "Inland Sea" as the boundary to separate the east and west of the entire World Government territory.

From this point on, whether it was continuing to attack the enemy's hinterland westwards, or relying on the existing results to hold on to the east, the strategic initiative was in the hands of Wolf Raid.

Victory brings joy, there is no doubt about that.

But it often doesn’t bring peace.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you!!!"

At this time, Tieyang City was under the control of the Wolf Raiders, and a chaotic riot was taking place in a prisoner camp.

The open space inside and outside the prisoner camp was crowded with people. The air was filled with tension, and the crowd was divided into two groups and were confronting each other.

One of the groups was a wolf raid camp consisting of hundreds of soldiers, led by an officer named "Carl". Their eyes were filled with anger and hatred, their teeth were clenched, and they were staring angrily at the front.

The other group was an equal number of mercenaries, basically all of whom were from Bianjie and Moxue, led by Shangguan Li, who were looking at the wolf-raid soldiers with a vigilant look.

The two sides were only a few meters apart in front of each other, and the confrontation was full of tension, as if they were arguing about something.

Behind Shangguan Li were a few ragged soldiers. Judging from their prison uniforms and dishevelled appearance, they were undoubtedly prisoners of the World Government Army.

These prisoners were trembling with fear in their eyes, and their faces were covered with blood and bruises. They must have just been severely beaten.

As soon as the wolf raiders led by Carl took a few steps forward, Shangguan Li immediately protected the captives and stared at them: "Back off! I told you to back off! Did you hear me?!"

Carl's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He pointed at the captives and cursed with gnashing teeth: "These bastards killed my brother! I will avenge him!"

The prisoner explained in horror: "I, I didn't kill anyone! I was sent out not long ago, and the main force surrendered. I didn't fire a single shot!"

Carl's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty cruelty: "I don't care if you have killed anyone or not. Anyway, my brother died at the hands of Tieyang, at the hands of you running dogs. You work for the World Government, so you must pay back your blood debt!"

Seeing Karl rushing at him again, Shangguan Li protected the frightened prisoners and stretched out his hand to push the furious wolf-raid soldier away: "What are you doing?! They have already surrendered and have no weapons in their hands. You are abusing the prisoners!"

"Abuse?" Carl's eyes widened with anger, as if he had remembered something sad and angry, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let me tell you what abuse is!"

"When my brother was dragged back by his comrades, his legs were crushed by the tank and his arms were chopped off by the enemy's sabers, but he didn't die at the time. Do you know why?"

"Because these bastards deliberately didn't kill the people they knocked down, but only cut off their hands and feet, leaving us with a life or death dilemma! They deliberately created serious injuries to wear us down!"

"In order not to become a burden to others, my brother bit his tongue and committed suicide in the middle of the night."

At this point, Carl's eyes were filled with tears, and he poked his chest hard and said, "That's my brother! I've known him for 13 years! We fought together on the border, went through life and death together when the ferocious beasts came, fought together when helping the big sister escape, and later raised the wolf attack flag again in the no man's land together."

"We have agreed that after the war, we will live somewhere quiet together. If one of us has a child, the other will be the godfather of that child."

"But he died just like that! He was tortured beyond recognition by those beasts and finally forced to bite his tongue to commit suicide! Tell me! Should I avenge this?!"

Brotherhood is very common among groups dealing with war, and mercenaries are one of such groups. Shangguan Li empathized with this grief and indignation, and his eyes were a little red.

But she still said firmly: "If you have a grudge, you can seek revenge from the World Government, go to the battlefield. You captured a few innocent prisoners and tortured them. Is this humane? Do you have any discipline at all?"

Carl's heart was completely ignited by anger.

What a shitty discipline.

What a shitty humanity.

The one who died was not your brother, why are you being so hypocritical?

"Fuck the law!" Carl roared, rushed forward, and swung his arm to punch.

"Bang!" Shangguan Li had a prisoner behind him. He did not dodge and was hit hard by the punch, causing his nose to bleed.

"Master!" Dongdong was also at the scene at this time. Although she has grown up in the past few years, her personality is not as impatient as before.

But when she saw Shangguan Li being beaten, she immediately flew into a rage and rushed over, cursing, "You bastard, I'll kill your father!"

Dongdong pounced on Carl and knocked him to the ground, swearing at him and punching him hard in the face.

This move was like lighting a powder keg, instantly detonating the emotions of everyone present.

When the Wolf Raid soldiers saw their brothers being beaten, they shouted and cursed as they swarmed towards Dongdong.

The mercenaries saw that it was you who started the fight first and even started a group fight, so they rushed forward without giving in.

People from both sides rushed together, pushing and shoving at first and then punching and kicking, and hundreds of people started a fight.

"You dare to touch my master's things, my dead father, I will beat you to death!"

"Fuck you shorty, I'm going to pluck all your pink hair out!"

"Go help Sister Dong! Go ahead!"

"Brothers, go ahead! Defeat these mercenaries!"

The surroundings instantly fell into chaos, with shouts, roars, and sounds of hitting and crashing intertwined together, filling the air with a commotion.

The news of the group fight in the prisoner camp spread quickly.

When Xibel, Sumer and their men hurried over, quite a few people were already lying on the ground, all of them with bruised faces and noses, mumbling and cursing.

Dongdong and Karl were still fighting in the mud. Both of them had bruises on their faces, but neither of them would give in. They grabbed each other and beat each other back and forth.

Shangguan Li finally pulled Dongdong away, and then someone kicked him from the other side. He pushed Karl away with his backhand, and then another punch came from this side.

Seeing everyone fighting, Xibel was furious and rushed into the arena, shouting, "Stop fighting! We are all family! What are you fighting for?!"

When Dongdong was dragged away by Shangguan Li and Su Mo, he was still pointing at Karl's nose and yelling, "Fuck you, you bastard! Can you touch my master?!"

Karl was stopped by Xibel, but he was still dishonest and said, "So what if you touch her? Hypocritical women deserve to be beaten!"

Dongdong: "Why don't you try to curse me again??!!"

The two were about to fight again, but fortunately, two heavyweights, Sumer and Xibel, arrived at the scene. The others had calmed down and dispersed to both sides. Dongdong and Karl were also held down separately.

Many people were injured in this round of group fighting, but the only consolation is that both sides still had some sense of propriety.

Even though they were fighting, they all knew they were on the same side, so they didn't use any harsh tactics.

So do Dongdong and Carl.

Both of them were extraordinary beings, but no matter how fierce the fight got, they never used their extraordinary powers.

If things really come to a head, a grassroots officer like Carl is at most at the fourth stage, so how can he fight against Dongdong?

The two men have only suffered minor injuries from their fight so far, and although they look miserable, they are actually nothing.

Xibel stood in the middle and asked sternly: "What's going on?!"

Carl pointed at Shangguan Li and the others, and said unwillingly: "Second Sister, please judge for yourself. The lackeys of the World Government killed so many of our brothers. I want to avenge everyone, but this group of people insisted on stopping me!"

Xibeier shouted angrily: "Revenge, revenge, are you a bandit? You are taking revenge on unarmed prisoners? If you have the energy to fight with your own people, why didn't you kill a few more enemies on the battlefield?"

In terms of seniority, strength, and status, Carl is no match for Sibel, and he cannot fight back when reprimanded.

He was so anxious that tears came out and he shouted, "I don't accept it!"

Xibeier didn't give him any slack: "If you don't agree, just keep it to yourself! You still have a temper after violating the rules? Tell me, who started it first?"

Dongdong rolled his eyes at Karl who was crying, and suddenly said, "I moved first."

Karl was stunned for a moment after hearing this, wiped away his tears and shouted: "You don't need to pretend to be a good person! I dare to take responsibility for my actions, I was the first to make a move!"

Dongdong said in a sarcastic tone: "He keeps calling me 'old man' all the time. A grown man can't win in a fight, but he's still crying. It makes me laugh to death."

Karl's face turned red from the ridicule: "Who the hell can't beat you! Come again if you dare!"

Dongdong: "Come on then, am I afraid of you?"

"Stop arguing!" Sibel shouted to stop the quarrel between the two.

She first glanced at Su Mo secretly, as if trying to find out what he meant.

After getting a look in response, she said to Dongdong and Karl with a cold face: "You all like to take the blame, right? Then do it together! The two leaders of the trouble, get out of here and go to the confinement room immediately. You are not allowed to eat or drink, and reflect for 24 hours!"

Dong Dong grumbled shamelessly: "Just go, it's no big deal."

When the two were taken to the confinement area by the soldiers, they kept talking and swearing at each other.

The people at the scene quickly dispersed.

Xibel restored order, found Su Mo and whispered, "I'm sorry, Boss, I know it was Karl who started it first."

"But there were a lot of people there, and I also had to give an explanation to the brothers of Lang Xi, so we had to be locked up together and wait for the second in command to come out tomorrow. I will go and apologize to her."

Su Mo smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, although Dongzi is very vindictive, she never remembers the grudges of her own people. She will sleep in there and will forget about it when she comes out tomorrow."

"As for you and Fenrir, your subordinates are all temperamental people. It is really not easy to manage so many people."

Xibel sighed helplessly: "You know what, management is really a headache."

"Whether we are the ones who followed us from the border or the ones we recruited in the no-man's land, to put it bluntly, we are all peasants who have never been to school. We have only known how to fight since we were young, and we don't know anything about discipline."

"We have no relatives or family, only comrades around us, and brotherhood is the only thing left for us. So don't blame Carl for being so excited. He is sadder than anyone else when his good brother dies."

Su Mo looked up at the distant sky and said, "I know, this is normal. We are human beings, and we all have emotions and selfish desires. There are very few people who can be absolutely rational."

It was dusk at this time. The noise of war had faded away. The setting sun slowly sank, and the fiery red afterglow sprinkled on this city that was once filled with smoke, illuminating the buildings that were devastated by the war.

Su Mo's eyes reflected this desolate scene, and he murmured, "That is why things managed by humans can never be perfect, whether it is a small group or a large world."

Xibel blinked and smiled, "Boss, you are quite cultured. It's just a group fight, how come you've elevated it to a philosophical level?"

Su Mo didn't say much. He patted Xibel's shoulder and said, "You are still injured. Go to rest early and cherish the few rest time you have."

She nodded: "Okay, you should rest early too."

After saying goodbye to Sumer, Xibel returned to the camp early.

Su Mo then came to the city wall and looked out from the height. The once towering trees in the suburbs were now only charred dead branches, standing alone in this desolate land. The cold wind brought a biting chill, and the dust on the ground swirled in the air.

The ground was littered with broken weapons and ammunition shells, mixed with burnt vehicles and human body fragments. A few crows were perched on the wreckage of the tank, their black feathers gleaming in the setting sun. They made low crows from time to time and pecked at the flesh and blood between the metal gaps.

Those once vibrant lives, whether they belonged to the World Government Army or the Wolf Raid, are now only corpses, telling of the horrors of war.

Suddenly, Su Mo remembered a sentence he had seen before.

The animals that kill the most humans are humans themselves.

As time passed, the glow of dusk faded and night fell.

The sunset was swallowed by darkness, the stars twinkled in the silent night sky, and only the cries of the crows were still echoing.

In the darkness, Su Mo looked up at the eternal stars above his head, and his soft murmurs mixed with the crows' cries in the distance.

"I want to give you a perfect world."
